Fox's E.D. Hill impersonates Helen Thomas

On the September 6 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-hosts Steve Doocy and Brian Kilmeade re-enacted a contentious exchange between White House press secretary Tony Snow and NBC News chief White House correspondent David Gregory during a September 5 press gaggle. At one point in the re-enactment, Doocy called out, "Helen Thomas. Helen Thomas, you're next." Co-host E.D. Hill then gave what was apparently her rendition of Hearst Newspapers columnist Thomas. Following is a screen capture of Hill's impersonation:

DOOCY: "Well, OK. Well, no."

KILMEADE: Oh. "You can do that to the Democrats" -- I was like, "Wow, you're good."

DOOCY: Helen Thomas. Helen Thomas, you're next.

KILMEADE: "Well, you can do that to the Democrats. Don't do it to me."

DOOCY: "No, I'm doing it to you because the second part was factually tendidious" --
